Receipt

If a pub or shop or a taxi man can or does not give one a receipt

what happens?? Do you demand your money back, or dont pay

Tom Young

Hardly.

The receipt is a written acknowledgment that a specified article or sum of money has been received as an exchange for goods or services. The receipt is evidence of purchase of the property or service obtained in the exchange.

It does not disentitle the vendor to consideration (legal consideration - money, etc.) for the purchase it has allowed or transacted with the purchaser. There are various regulations, laws and indeed courses of dealing which would require the vendor to facilitate the provision and presentation of a receipt for goods or services but it merely evidences the bona fides of the transaction on an itemised basis for the consumer/purchaser and indeed the regulatory or tax authorities.

i thought there was a law that says taxi have to give receipt http://www.taxiregulator.ie/consumer/consumer-rights-and-responsibilities/consumer-rights-and-responsibilities.html

I actually thought it was recent but found a thread from 2002
http://www.p45.net/boards/showthread.php?t=29036 which says they must give receipts

says here there is no obligation on shop to give receipt

Sure, but that doesn't mean you don't need to pay.

MagicSean

Exactly. Simply take down his PSV number and report him afterwards. If he will not give a receipt and he has no psv licence on display he is probably not a taxi driver.

I may be mad but you get a reciept when you pay.

So are you going to ask for the money back if you dont get a reciept?

From now on I'm not going to pay the taxi man, who cannot give me a receipt.
I'll ask him to ring the garda and then he will be in trouble. As it illegal to work without being registered

You cannot refuse to pay because he won't give you a receipt. it is you who is breaking the law. You pay him and report him to the regulator.

They can still work and be regulated and not give a receipt. If you need a receipt any business should have no problem providing you with one.
If your unsure at the start ask the taxi driver will they be able to give you a receipt, don't wait until the end of the journey and refuse to pay as you'll end up in varying degrees of trouble depending on the taxi driver.
if you refuse to pay in the pub and shop you just won't get any beer or shopping.

It's illegal for you not to pay the taxi driver. Ringing the Garda over something like this is a waste of there time. anyway the taxi driver will probably make a citizens arrest and hold you until the Garda arrive to arrest you.

A black taxi man can't touch me, if he does I'll sue him for assault:eek:

So catching illegal taxi men is a waste of the Gard time ??:eek:

You're clearly not reading the posts. I'll try and make it simple for your possibly racist brain.

A man without a psv licence is not a taxi man

A man with a psv licence is a taxi man, if he refuses to give you a receipt he is still a taxi man and you still have to pay him. You can later report him to the regulator.

Refusing to pay a taxi man for a journey is an offence and you can be arrested for it. If you try and evade payment the taxi man, black or white, can arrest you and bring you to the Garda station.

Hi all
Don't know if anyone can help me here. I recently got a Taxie where he refuse to give me a receipt, he said as it was a shared journey he would give it to the last person that got out, he said if I didn't pay he would bring me to the nearest Garda station, so I paid I warned the rest to get a receipt as he had over charged me to start. I took a picture of the Taxie number plate& he told my friend he was reporting me?? When the rest got home they asked for a receipt which once again he threatened the Garda station, he gave a receipt in the end which said €26, he charged us €40. Is this total wrong, is there a way of reporting this guy or how do I go about it, he oviously bulled us into thinking we were the ones that were wrong. He freaked when I asked for a receipt. I have all his details and want to take this further. We're only in our 20's, who else is he ripping off

Sounds to me like you or your friends aren't telling the whole story. I need more information. Did you flag him down or get into his taxi at a legal taxi rank? Alternatively did you call a cab company and did they send this driver out to collect you? Where did you get picked up from? Was he a hackney or was he a taxi? (a hackney has no plate on the roof and no meter, he can only be booked by phone, he can't be hailed down or used from a rank).

Sorry about all the questions, it'll help if you gimme more details.

Mydear

Sorry should of mentioned how we got the Taxie. We just walked out of super macs and I put out my hand & he pulled up.
My younger brother was the one who insisted on the receipt in the end, the Taxie driver asked them for €13 each , there was two of them, and he has already charged me €15. It was a Taxie and he had a plate. I know the price of the journey as I would regularly get a Taxie, normally to where I live would be €15-17 from the city, split between how ever many of us,the Taxie charged me 15 even tho he had to continue the drive to drop of my brother&friend, he didn't restart the meter so the whole journey would of been €26 like on the receipt, he wasn't taking the €15 in to account that I had already paid him when he asked my brother& friend for €26. I seem to have really pissed him off by asking for a receipt. I know how to stand up for myself my brother doesn't his too quite.

Report him to the regulator.

Agreed, if what you say is true you should definitely report him, you have his licence number so you should do this as soon as possible.
I can't stand rip-off merchants!

One consideration here that has not been mentioned is that where a receipt of service acts as certification for the service provided there may be grounds to refuse payment on the spot and withhold such until an invoice is written.

This may apply in such scenario as where a business has an ongoing arrangement with a taxi company and incorporated into the agreement is that the taxi driver must issue a receipt.

It does not mean the passenger can avoid the debt but it means the debt may only become valid upon the condition of issue of receipt. If there is no receipt the taxi company/driver may have to invoice.

This is all dependent upon the incorporated terms of carriage.
